Implementing the public_timeline.json Twitter API method

Now that we can post statuses via Twitter API (see previous post), here is a quick how to on the next item in our Twitter API to-do-list:

// get some variables in scope
extract( $vars );
$tweets = array();

$callback = $_GET['callback'];

// get the data model for the "posts" table
$Post = $db->model( 'Post' );

// search for the most recent 10 records
$Post->find();

// loop over each record
while ( $p = $Post->MoveNext() ) {

  $profile = owner_of( $p );

  $tweet = array();

  $user = array(
     'screen_name' => $profile->nickname
  );

  $tweet['text'] = $p->title;
  $tweet['truncated'] = 'false';
  $tweet['created_at'] = date( "D M d G:i:s O Y", strtotime( $p->created ));
  $tweet['in_reply_to_status_id'] = null;
  $tweet['source'] = null;
  $tweet['id'] = intval( $p->id );
  $tweet['favorited'] ='false';
  $tweet['user'] = $user;

  $tweets[] = $tweet;

}

echo $callback."(";

// load the JSON class
$json = new Services_JSON();

// create the JSON data
echo $json->encode( $tweets );

echo ");";
